David Cross and Amber Tamblyn (pictured in 2009): how romantic. The crotchety comedian and his young actress love married in a woodsy ceremony on Oct. 6, 2012.

Nickelback's Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne. This pairing makes a strange sort of sense: they're both Canadian, musical and detested by critics. Still, no one was prepared when Chavril announced their engagement in 2012.Robb Dipple, Hello! Canada, CP

Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley. One was the King of Pop and the other was the offspring of the biggest monarch rock had ever seen. It makes sense on paper, but the pairing of these two was just strange -- and a little icky. "Do we have sex?" Presley retorted during a 1995 interview with Diane Sawyer. "Yes! YES! Yes!"Reuters file

Ted Danson and Whoopi Goldberg. It's hard to believe this pair was ever involved, but they met on the scene of Made in America in 1992 and briefly fell in love.Handout

Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn. If rebound relationships are all about dating the opposite of your ex, Penn seemed to be just about the perfect fit after Johansson split from hunky Ryan Reynolds.Getty Images

Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood. She seemed sweet and innocent and he was anything but. Celeb watchers around the world felt a collective maternal urge to protect the poor young starlet when this match was revealed.Getty Images

Lisa Kudrow and Conan O'Brien. Kudrow only revealed the relationship in 2011, when she told More magazine that her former funnyman beau pushed her to continue in comedy when she wanted to give up after her first improv session.Composite photo

Soon-Yi Previn and Woody Allen. If you're a regular person and you dump your girlfriend to be with her adopted daughter, you probably want to change your name and move somewhere nobody knows you. If you're a famous director, you just put up with years of late-night talk show jokes and quietly go on to have a long, apparently happy marriage.Pascal Le Segretain

Flava Flav and Brigitte Neilsen. Was this relationship for real, or was it all a stunt to promote The Surreal Life and then the spinoff Strange Love? He's a tiny loudmouthed rapper and she's the tall, leggy Danish ex of Sylvester Stallone. The world is a poorer place without the two of them together.Handout

Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman. One-time basketball star Rodman is probably best remembered for his all-around strangeness rather than his skills on the court, so it's no surprise he made up one half of one of the weirdest celebrity couples ever. These two got married in a Las Vegas chapel, but Rodman filed for divorce nine days later, claiming he was drunk during the ceremony.Getty Images
